Walt Disney and Lucasfilm have resolved the lawsuit brought by actress Gina Carano over her 2021 dismissal from 'The Mandalorian', a Lucasfilm spokesperson confirmed on Thursday. The settlement ends the legal dispute, and both sides have expressed a readiness to potentially work together again.
Disney’s Lucasfilm division announced that Gina Carano’s wrongful termination and sex discrimination lawsuit has been settled. Carano was let go from 'The Mandalorian' in 2021 after social media posts that Disney deemed offensive, including a controversial comparison involving conservative political views and the Holocaust.
Lucasfilm praised Carano’s professionalism, noting she was "always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff" and behaved with dedication and respect.
With the case concluded, the studio said it looks forward to “identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future”, though no specifics were offered.
A court filing confirming the settlement said the action will be dismissed with prejudice, meaning Carano cannot refile the case.
In response, Carano posted that the outcome is “the best outcome for all parties involved,” expressing gratitude toward Elon Musk for supporting her case “and asking for nothing in return.” She also thanked her supporters and signalled optimism about the future.
